a Fortune in Dispute-

Colonel Reynolds, of South Carolina,
who recently died, was deemed one OF
the richest farmers in that state. Bir
estate IS estimated TO amount TO abo =
100000. Some fifty years ago, be,r,
s1rely disappointed in respect TO an an
uclpated marriage, and being also a slave
holder, he took one of his female slaves
sa concubine, and practically made hcr
his wife, without any marriage ceremonv,
and lived with her as such up TO 10 the
time OF his death. BY her he had a large
family OF mulatto children, Tor whom lie
amply provided, and several OF whom re-
cclyed \ liberal education.

Reynolds made his Will, and drew he

under the laws OF South Carolina, he Lad
the legal right thus to dispose OF his prop

And we add that we have no doubt AZ
to whether, in the circumstances as exist

EBENSBURG

refined taste could procure. Their home
was a fIyOrIte resort Tor the best society,
and was constantly thrOnged with gay
guests. The walls which echoed our
dull footballs had, FIVE years before, re
sounded with the sounds of mirth and
revelry. One night, when the house
was wrapped in slumber, the master
heard d noise as Of some one attempting
10 gain an entrance. SeiZing his revolver
he sprang from his bed, and glided with
soft footsteps down the hall 10 the dining
room, from whence the sounds proceed
ed. He stopped for a moment by the
door. Suddenly 1t opened and burglar
bounded past him. He raised his weapon
and fired. At the same instant a white
figure came within the range OF his vision.
4 piercing shrek revealed 10 him his ter
rible mistake. His anxions vile had fol
lowed him from their chamber, only TO
perish al the hand OF her husband. She
never spoke. He caught her in his arms,
and received one passionate kiss of devo-
ton before her spirit took It's flight for
ever.
The establishment was at once closed
and the servants were dismissed. The
bTOken-hearted husband took his little
daughter and went to Europe. Our
German friend, who at that time was
tutor OF the little girl, was lett in care of
the house, and until our advent he had
been the only occupant OF the deserted
mansion.
But now comes the romantic part OF
my story. Four years afterwards | was
travelling in Europe, and at a German
watering place l met an American, &C
cOmpaniei by his daughter, a handsome
girl OF sixteen. The father was not much
past middle age, but his heavy head of
hair was white as snow. He was very
IN, nd
broken with grief. Somehow their faces
attracted me, and could not help think
ing that in days gone by l had known
them. l made their acquaintance, and
learned their history. Years before l
had seen their portraits in the old man
sion at Baltimore. a couple OF years
after our meeting the father died. In
the meantime the daughter had become
interested in art. l encouraged her taste
in that direction, and year after her
fathers death she married an artist
whom you have all met.

Fishing and Catching Fish.

KILLING THE GREAT AUX.
How an Interesting Bird Was Destroyed
Other Extinct Creatures.

sixty or seventy years AGO the great
auks We're exceedingly common along
the northern coast, coming rs far south
as Nahan& But warfare was commenced
upon them, and, though Il hardly seems
possible, their extermination is doubt
less complete the last living bird having
been killed IN 1874, on group OF Islands
called Fung.asker, OF the southwest
coast of Iceland.
In the last century these birds. which
were large, handsome and str. king IN an
pe2r2nce, were common at the Farce
Islands, and, a. they We're found to be
good eating they were slaughtered bv
the boat-load, not only for Immediate
use, but 70 be dried and preserved. They
were finally driven to q dcso,ate rock
that was considered inaccessible: but
one calm day FarOese vessel succeeded
ii making landing, and tho crew de-
stroyed nearly the entire rookerv. A
few birds escaped to sea and returned
alter the departure OF the men, and for
time We're sale. Then, as if nature her
SELF We're IN league against them. the
70 X, lew years later, was engulIed BY
submarine eruption.
The few remaining great auks now as
sembled and formed rookerv on a rock
called l-ldey, where, Tor fourteen years,
they lived precarIOus existence. Dur
ing that time sixty of their number were
taken, and finally the last pair was de
stroyed. Their history in other localities
Is very similar TO this. That the birds
were once common on the Maine coast is
shown BY the fact that their bones are
found IN the oystcr-shclI heaps at various
parts OF the shore.
At the same time and in the same To-
caHty with the great aux lived the Lab
"a Tor duck, quite rare even in collections
ana now totally extinct. The last known
living specimen was killed by Colonel
Nedderburn, of Halifax, IN 1852.
In a similar way the curious dodo
which was great p .geon, was cEterlniu-
atci. The sailors who visit "a the Island
OF MauritIus used to kill them IN mere
wGutoa sport.
The notornis, a beautiful rail of New
Zealand. has become extinct probably
within the memory OF some OF our read
ers, It's determination also being due 70
II n. And IN our own time we see the
bulalo being crowded iurth- an further
into the mountains and almost externin-
ated from our Western plains.

on the steps of the Notre Dame church,
wearing large placard bearing the in
scription:
- i HAVE no HOME AND NOTHING TO EAT

In reality she was only sixty-five years
old. The judge said:
You have boon guilty Of obtaining

seem to be especially the case in its rela-

expended in the maintenance of wooden
sleepers and tramways under ground, foI

strong, yet light, corrugated steel sleeper
IS employed, with a special steel clip ior
fastening. Two holes are punched in
each end OF the sleeper and the stee,
